Family photos

I set up the self timer on our camera last weekend to try to get a family photo before it gets too darn cold to sit on the porch. For some reason, I wanted a picture of the four of us on the porch for our Christmas card. And, I have a coupon code for Hallmark.com that expires on the 2oth.

Getting a family photo is nearly impossible, and Ryan really hates getting it professionally done because it’s stressful. (Just imagine two pugs running around, snorting and just generally acting like they’ve never been taught manners, or to hold still.)

This was the best of the photos. Although neither of the dogs are looking at the camera. At least the pugs weren’t attacking each other. That’s something, right?Then, I thought I could play with the colors.What do you think? Are any of them Christmas-card worthy?

You guys look super cute! I hate to be the odd one out, but I like the first or last one. The 2nd to last photo doesn’t say Christmas Card to me.

We’re hoping to do photos this week. We were scheduled for tomorrow but its supposed to rain, and not stop for probably over a week (here in Seattle the typical weather is grey with a drizzle). I’m not sure if we’ll reschedule or find an indoor spot. Here’s hoping there are some breaks in the drizzle tomorrow 🙂
